q24 As part of the SLE123 assignment, one group makes a manometer using olive oil because it is much less hazardous than mercury. density of mercury = 13 600 kg/m3 density of olive oil = 917 kg/m3 Briefly comment on the effectiveness of the olive-oil manometer compared to a normal mercury manometer, and any challenges making one. Hint: In your answer, make sure that the comment is related to a physics principle covered in this unit.

e) Clearly, there is a force of gravity on the space station and everything inside of it. Yet, the apparent weight of an object aboard the space station is roughly zero, i.e. objects float around relative to the space station as if there is no force of gravity. Explain why objects at the space station appear "weightless", in 1 or 2 sentences. We talked about this in lecture. Nothing too complicated about this.
